As well as local garden centres we have a number of 'trendy'* shops round our way that sell furnishings, greetings cards and so on. Worth even having a look to see if you can display them on a sale or return basis.

Any local craft fairs round your neck of the woods? I know it's there that i tend to buy the type of card that you are making. Handmade cards are not cheap anywhere so do not undervalue your time and effort and underprice them !

Mrs N, I'm sure you do this, but - do you put a tag on the back of the cards with a link to your website/email/phone whatever so that anyone who gets your little works of art, can easily get in touch to order their own - you know "Original work by Mrs N, also available wedding stationery and bespoke designs www.mrsnesbittslovelycards.com email MrsN@mrsnesbittslovelycards.com" etc?

Especially on the grounds that people might sit down at the computer these days to send thank you emails for cards?

These cards are wonderful ... you ought to contact Royal mail and make them a proposition for stamps! some of the stuff they are coming up with lately is absolute rubbish ... they need something like this to get them back on track
